My network drivers fail to start at boot

Since I installed W8 64x my networks drivers won't start at boot, therefore I have to disable the drivers via Device Manager and re-enable them in order to work. (see attachment for the only error I get - I don't know whether there is a log in another place?)

Have you try the Driver which came with your MB? If not, give them a try.

It's possible that Manufacturer of the MB has done some modifications.

Also the's maybe an BIOS Update in order. That's not a big deal if you follow strictly the advice give by you MB Manufacturer. There to many changes which were coming with Windows 8 which could have an effect.

I second this. Flashing a Bios nowadays is no hazardous game as it was sometimes in the past, praying not having bricked it (when inserting a slic table ... lol)

I have an additional Intel PCIE x1 NIC in my Dell XPS 8500 that would not start after sleep. I had to go into properties on the card and disable the computer's ability to power down the card (default) to get it to function properly.

I have had similar problems. Rarely the network card can't connect anywhere and fails to get an IP from the DHCP server. When looking at the properties of the card, there seem to be the old numbers of transferred bytes, IP, etc. Cycling the device does help in deed.

I also disabled ability to turn off the card and I haven't seen the problem so far. Could be coincidence as the problem was quite rare anyway.
